Helmut Oehring is a CODA - a child of deaf parents. His mother tongue, the sign language of the deaf, is the DNA of his scores, choreographies and productions in its spatial syntax and grammar as well as its abstract, physical poetry. Together with clarinettist Teresa Doblinger, he presents audiovisual compositions in which he realises various transformations of visual languages in writing, sound and film and a special form of SignMimo choreography based on transcription/notation systems for body languages.

Bios
Composer, guitarist, author, choreographer and director Helmut Oehring was born in Berlin (East) in 1961. As the child of deaf parents, the sign language of the deaf is his mother tongue, whose spatial syntax and grammar also form one of the foundations of his audiovisual scores, choreographies and productions. Self-taught as a guitarist and composer and not admitted to university in the GDR due to his repeated conscientious objection to military service, he became a master student of Georg Katzer at the Akademie der Künste zu Berlin in 1990 and was appointed a member in 2005. A fellow of the Akademie Schloss Solitude in 1990 and a fellow of the Villa Massimo in Rome in 1994/95, he has since received awards such as the Orpheus Chamber Opera Prize Italy (1995), the Hindemith Prize (1997) and the Arnold Schönberg Prize (2008) for his entire oeuvre, which today comprises over 500 works of almost all genres that are performed worldwide. The New Yorker called him the "most influential audiovisual composer alongside John Adams, Kaija Saariaho, Björk and Robert Ashley". In 2011, btb/Randomhouse published his autobiography With different eyes. From a child of deaf parents to a composer. In 2020/21 he was an Excellence Fellow at the Villa Aurora in Los Angeles.
Teresa Doblinger moves in the contemporary art field as a clarinettist, dancer and choreographer, combining these disciplines in many ways, both creating and performing, with an important focus on movement work with musicians in scenic settings. Her training includes master studies for bass clarinet and contemporary music at the HKB Bern (Switzerland) with Ernesto Molinari, at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz (Austria) with Klangforum Wien, at the KASK in Ghent/Brussels with the Ensemble Ictus and the intensive dance training programme Performact in Portugal.
She currently works in various projects and ensembles, such as the art collective SevenCircles and as a member of the Black Page Orchestra, LaKT Ensemble and Ensemble N. She performs worldwide and has appeared with her own projects at the Dampfzentrale Bern, the Neu Now Festival in Amsterdam, Le Vivier in Montreal and the Kulturforum New York, among others. Together with Mariana Fagundes Oliveira, she won several prizes at "Teatri Riflessi 8" in Sicily with her dance piece "alldough". From 2019-2024, she organised festivals and events for contemporary music and performance in Ried im Innkreis through "Hörsturm".
